I saw it in niconico thirty minutes ago xD
Belphegor in the cover and not Asmodeus ＼(^o^)／
And that looking Witch-Maria in the portrait? Her hair is like the sailor Maria-looking girl @__@
And what are those preorder goods? xD the Jessica pic looks like an image of a holding pillow o_o

Actually I have mis-read...it's not a pre-order bonus for ep3. Rather, it's a promotion from mandarake that starting 7/19, if you buy either ep2, any higurashi game, or 2100 yen worth of new doujins, you get one of the 5 slim posters. To get it from US, your might have to use some sort of deputy service.

As to the real pre-ordering goods, seems that only Toranoana and Melonbooks is going to do it, and they will have it up for pre-order next week.

And it's a shame that mandarake spanish version doesn't sell that goods, since I was planning on buying a lot of doujinshi the next month, oh caca! T__T
And I wonder what be including the preorder edition in toranoana and melon books, a character telephone card with Ryukishi art? xD

Currently 2ch is going nuts over one article that states that the person in the potrait is Maria...to add oil to the fire, the entry has just been taken down, that could mean 1 of the 3 things:

1. Entry was wrong, and Ryukishi07 sent in his complains to have it taken down
2. Entry is actually a giant spoiler, and Ryukishi07 sent in his complains to have it taken down
3. Under maintenance...but other entries works fine.

Does this implies that Maria = Beatrice? Or just everyone is going to get their chance on the portrait

I've been so hyped up about this for awhile, I don't think I can wait a month and a half for it.

Would Ryukishi07 really do that when he encourages people to speculate? Or was it like inside knowledge or something?

Well, Maybe it's that to announce that she is Maria was too hasty, because it could be that she is a new character, after all, in the portrait she has got green eyes (apparently), Maria has got blue eyes, that can be an evidence that they are different people.

That would be a bit too far stretched, though the removal of the portrait is quite intriguing.
That said, is that really a spoiler? I mean,
usually, portrait is shown quite early so being a spoiler, it would change drastically how the usual plot goes on.
